Re: [newbie-it] Editor latex_per_emiliano
Ciao Emiliano, Io uso con molto profitto emacs con in più il pacchetto emacs-auctex che ti permette di avere tutti i comandi del latex nella barra degli strumenti. puoi far davvero tutto da lì, compreso per esempio compilare il testo per generare il file dvi e dargli una sbirciata con xdvi ecc. ecc. devi avere un po'di dimestichezza con i comandi latex, Mi piacerebbe riuscire ad usare Xemacs ma senza un tempo di start-up eccessivamente lungo: mi sono appena studiato il latex e ho bisogno di rendermi indipendente da WinEdt (per win) visto che è a pagamento. Mi sono scaricato Xemacs così da poterlo iniziare ad usare e riuscire a fare il porting di tutti i miei documenti da WinEdt a Xemcs e successivamente da Win a Linux. Fino ad ora ho usato il MikTex (spero che sia full-compatible con auctex), mi sai dare qualche dritta (solo se è una roba veloce, altrimenti tenterò di leggermi un po' di manuali) su come installare auctex e come lanciarlo (M-x o qualche cosa del genere, boh???) sotto Xemacs per ottenere quanto mi hai detto (menù con tasti per compilare il doc, ecc..ecc...)? Auctex ha anche la sintax highlight(che trovo molto utile in questa fase)? Grazie e scusa se ti chiedo la pappa cotta ma sono in una situazione di emergenza. Grazie e ciao ancora Enrico
[newbie-it] /dev !!!
Ciao a tutti. Spero tanto che sappiate rispondere al mio quesito... Ieri, lavorando alla costruzione di un linux minimale, ho erroneamente cancellato (quasi tutta) la directory /dev!! (Dovevo cancellare la dir dev di un'altro filesystem in fase di costruzione) Non sapendo bene cosa fare, ho salvato quel che restava della directory in /dev_bkp, poi ho copiato lo script MAKEDEV nella /dev e l'ho lanciato: # ./MAKEDEV -v generic Questo comando ha ricreato credo quasi tutti i file precedentemente presenti nella directory. Quello che ora mi chiedo e': e' sufficiente questo? Il fatto che abbia ricreato, ad esempio, il file hda1 consente alla relativa partizione di venire montata senza problemi? Posso quindi anche riavviare il computer senza il rischio che mi si impianti al boot? Altra domanda: ho notato che i dispositivi presenti in /etc/fstab sono stati ricreati tutti ad esclusione di /dev/cdrom. Perche'? Come posso fare per farglielo ricreare? Facendo magari un check dell'hardware? E come? La distribuzione e' Suse 8.1 Ringrazio molto tutti quelli che sapranno aiutarmi... Ciao ciao, Chiara
[newbie-it] Alleggerire KDE
Ciao a tutti, L'altro giorno ho confrntato il tempo di carica di Mandrake con KDE(con HD a 10.000rpm) rispetto a un altro PC con winXP (con HD a 7200rpm). Mentre WinXP mi ha reso disponibile il desktop in 1 min e 30sec circa, il secondo ha impiegato circa 3 min e 15 sec. Il collo di bottiglia è KDE, inquanto dopo poco più di un min e mezzo, anche Linux mi aveva reso disponibile la finestra di login ma da qui in poi (una volta digitato login e pass) ho dovuto attendere più di un altro minuto e mezzo prima di avere la disponibilità del desktop. Come posso velocizzare il caricamento di KDE? Ad eliminare dei servizi dal Kernel per velocizzare il caricamento di Linux ho un po' di paura perché temo di cancellare roba che in un qualche modo è usata da qualche applicazione. Tutti i consigli sono benvenuti Grazie Enrico

Poiché emacs si adatta alle caratteristiche del file sul quale stai lavorando, entra in emacs e crea da emacs un file .tex; nella barra comandi ti troverai le opzioni Latex e Command, se clicchi su, trovi tutti gli ambienti che ti servono per settare un documento tex. Cominci col dare tutte le informazioni che riguardano il tipo di documento, la lingua, il formato carattere e poi cominci a scrivere il documento con gli ambienti tex. Per compilare il file tex in latex, basta andare su command poi cliccare su latex e si creano vari files tra i quali uno .dvi che puoi vedere cliccando su view... All'inizio è un po' ostico avere a che fare prima con emacs e poi con i comandi latex, per questo è necessario avere a portata di mano o di schermo (ahaha) un manualetto, ma presto diventa tutto più semplice.

[newbie] Kernel error
Hi all, good thing this list seems to be up and running again. I went through my KDE settings yesterday and on the module System - Linux Kernel I got the following information (translated from German): from kde Error Your kernel configuration could not be read because of the following error: /usr/src/linux/arch//config.in cannot be opened. Either the source code of your kernel contains faulty configuration rules or you have just discovered a bug in this program. /from kde So what might that mean? Is it the 2 slashes between arch and config.in, and if so where would I fix this? Any ideas? I'm using Mandrake 9.1 installed without changing the defaults, KDE version is 3.1. -- Cheers Peter Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

[newbie] Connecting to the net as root
Hi all Yeeha! I've finally got a satellite internet connection - one-way, still have to upload via dialup modem. I was even lucky enough to find a driver for linux (thanks to Bryan Christianson, developer) which was a breeze to compile and setup. Just one concern, starting/stopping the device must be done as root user. Is there any security issue with this? I don't _think_ there is but... you know paranoia an' all... just want to make sure I'm not leaving my system wide open for script kiddies. Oh, and yes, I do have a firewall start upon connection to the net (iptables script). ;) Sygatech and GRC port scans show all intended ports in stealth mode. And I don't mind if you laugh/scream/shout at me about my paranoia. Some nice person got into my computer (when I was using M$ Windoze of course!) and disabled Zonealarm, totally stuffed the packet-sniffer and antivirus software, left me with an empty excel file that used to contain website logins and passwords and installed a virus, and displayed the contents of my hard drive in my browser window.

[newbie] Partitions, File Systems, and Kernel not installing
07/15/03 Hello All, from The Other Dennis, the CDs arrived. Thank you. 3 hours of 37 different combinations of installing, and the Kernel package failed to install each time. Same results with the replacement CD1 and the original distro CD1. Obviuously, my problem isn't with the CDs. I tried Journalized Ext3 and Linux Native Ext2 file systems. This is a 1998 Asus P2B motherboard that installed Bamboo once, the very first time I installed. No joy since. How big should the / (root) partition be? On that single successful installed Mandrake chose 5GB if I remember correctly. I've been trying 6GB or larger since. Is that my problem? Or does it make a difference which sector I begin the root partition? Does it make a difference on which of 2 drives I install root? What are the special requirements for root? Am I having trouble because somewhere I'm spanning a 1024-cylinder boundary? If my system had never installed Bamboo, I would consider a hardware incompatibility problem. But now it appears there's something in my installation configuration that's messing up Kernel. Any ideas what that could be? Oh, anyway to print out the installation logs as the CD boots. I noticed a message to the effect: error opening Mandrake base patch in somefile name on CD1 The message went by to quickly to get the details. Would it help if I could capture those logs as they scroll by? Thanks All The Other Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

This is not the case in all catagories just some, about half, and I cannot say it's only the one definative set of catagories, and not the others, it seems fairly random each time. If like me you have more than one email address and in one case up to 14 catagories with filters to sort them, it means my mailer handles some complicated downloads, but all the mail arrives. It's just that for instance,say on this email address , my inbox will show nil downloads, when in fact there are heaps, but if I click the catagory it will immediately show the number of unread mails.When I'm finished reading my mail , the original sum of unread mail is still showing unread, and to get rid of it I have to click another catagaory and back to inbox again, when the erraneous number does.

Like I say, if yer installing glib from source, yer way ahead of some of the dunderheads around here...wait, did I just say that out loud?! When you install from a source tarball, in my experience you want to do it a bit differently for critical libraries like glib and such, because Mandrake tends to put them in non-standard locations (I think *good* ones, but that's another flame war). Instead of just ./configure, do ./configure --prefix=/usr (this is for glib). To execute ldconfig (and updatedb, just to be sure), su to root in your fav terminal and simply run the commands. su root enter password for root updatedb (go get a coffee) ldconfig then try installing Pango from the source packages and report back! The main thing to keep in mind is if you keep track of what you are doing, and don't, repeat *don't* delete the source packages once you install, you can always uninstall, go back, and start over. Ya, it's not like installng Kazaa on Windows, I'll give ya that. Awesome. It seems that worked out well; Pango found glib and continued to install whatever it needed to do. I used the prefix when I was configuring Pango, also if this is needed? And what do updatedb and ldconfig actually do? See, usually when I run ./configure and make and all of those commands, it'd show me where everything is being put, right? Well, if this was the case of say a lib (glib) and I tried to install another package that depended on that lib, it'd fail to install because I wouldn't know where to point the installation at/where the library was actually installed. Should I always point the libs at -prefix=/usr? Or should this be the only case for small applications and so? Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

it's the fault of the nVidia kernal, and could be due to the fact that it's

[newbie] Reboot Window (KDE)
I asked this question before by my email went down and could not get a reply. Selecting logout from KDE (mandrake 9.1) you get an opportunity to reboot. If you choose to do so, sometimes you get a window with a dragon and three choices, sometimes you get the same OS list displayed by lilo, and sometimes you just get a 3 inch square blank window.

With Win4Lin, you need a windows os cd, because you actually install a windows system to your linux partition. You then run Windows like a linux application, and the desktop, start menu, and taskbar appears at the bottom. It does a nice job doing office applications, but may be a little more than what you need. With Wine, you can run office apps from an existing windows partition, or if that isn't there, you can just install the office app by issuing the wine command. There is no installation of windows necessary. Codeweavers has a product called Crossover Office that can run Adobe Photoshop, MIcrosoft Office XP, Office 2000, and Office 97, Lotus Notes, and some others. It's not quite as expensive as Win4Lin, and does its job well. The best part is that it has a nice, easy to understand GUI to install programs.

Re: [newbie] nVidia driver fails to initialize at startup
Gah, another problem:
I just recently installed the nVidia driver for the GForce FX graphics
card for linux, and installation and everything went fine, and it told me
to change the XF86Config file to use the new driver. And so I did, and
restarted the X server, and now what happens is the screen flickers a
couple of times, and it give me an error message saying it couldn't start
X Server because the nVidia kernal failed to initialize. So I go to it's
documentation page, and it says this isn't the fault of linux's kernal,
but it's the fault of the nVidia kernal, and could be due to the fact
that it's module isn't loaded. So, using the terminal X Server-less, I
browse to /sbin/ like it says and I do insmod nvidia, and then modprobe
nvidia. It loads successfully, but when I start up X server ('xdm' in the
command line) the screen just goes blank, and I have to restart to get
out of it. I was also wanting to know if there is any text editors that
work without X Server, so incase if theres nothing I can do about it I
can just edit the XF86Config back to what it was. Thanks.
Try this way: enter BIOS Setup and enable: 'Assign IRQ to VGA'

VPC (Virtual PC) is a software program for Macintosh/Apple computers that creates a virtual pc - an emulated x86 architecture - but with Windows98 installed (although you can set it up to run almost anything x86 based); it has been very popular in the corporate environment where you had Macintosh machines that had to either run x86 compatible software, or Windows based software. VMWare is basically the same thing (and there are a few other x86 emulation packages out there - Bochs x86 is another) whereby you have an emulated virtual computer in a window - and can install any OS you desire within that emulated environment. Great for testing, or for sandboxing - for security or application/network development. I used to use VPC on my iBook (when I had an iBook) so that I could do all my network administration tasks, along with run every bit of MS software that I had to run; so the iBook became literally completely cross-platform. So Win4Lin is like VPC for Win? Basically. It can't run linux inside of windows like VPC can, and the core code is different. AFAIK, It does the same thing. Correct me if I'm wrong.
